Its entry on the “History of PR” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_public_relations is called “an orphan” since “few or no other articles link to it.” WP asks readers to supply such links. The “History of PR,” which gives lots of space to Edward Bernays and Ivy Lee, not only has huge gaps but has inaccurate and misleading statements and references. It says Congress was investigating “Rockefeller’s work on behalf of the controversial Nazi German company IG Farben.” Congress was investigating Lee’s secret work for the Hitler government which included getting paid via Farben rather than the Hitler government itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_Lee Carl Byoir & Assocs. also worked for the Hitler government via the German Tourist Board. Revelation of these contracts caused outrage in Congress and resulted in passage of the Foreign Agents Registration Act in 1938. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Agents_Registration_Act It was further strengthened in 2008. http://www.odwyerpr.com/members/archived_stories_2008/june/0613fara.html Howling with the Wolves, a 224-page doctoral thesis by Tyrone Steven Bomba, documented Lee’s admiration of Hitler and Mussolini. Lee liked “big men.” http://books.google.com/books/about/Howling_with_the_wolves.html?id=XuBVNwAACAAJ The book is available at the Pollak library at California State University, Fullerton. WP’s entry on FARA is far too brief. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Agents_Registration_Act Neither Lee nor Bernays deserve to be called “fathers of PR.” Bernays made too many statements about PR being a way to “propagandize” the “herdlike” public. His books, including Propaganda, were favorites of Nazi propaganda czar Joseph Goebbels. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/goebbels.html PRSA, Tylenol Referenced The “History of PR” refers to the ethical “Code” of PRSA but not to the fact that for its first nearly 30 years the Code interfered with price competition by barring contingency fees and open competition for accounts. This resulted in the Society being forced to sign and publicize nationally FTC consent decree Docket C-2907, 90 FTC 324 in 1977. The “History” says that in 1982 “effective PR helped save Johnson & Johnson after the highly publicized Tylenol poisoning crisis.” There is a link to the Chicago Tylenol murders http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Tylenol_murders that gives a narrative that has been challenged by former J&J employee Scott Bartz who provided copious evidence that the poisonings took place in the five-part distribution chain for Extra Strength Tylenols and not at the store level. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Agents_Registration_Act Bartz, who was with J&J 7.5 years, put his research into The Tylenol Mafia, a 619-page book that was published this year. The Byzantine distributional process was never written about by any media in 1982, says Bartz, partly because J&J avoided a press conference where it might have been revealed. J&J, as part of its stance that it had nothing to do with the poisonings, offered a measly $100,000 for information on someone who killed seven people. The J&J pill, swallowed whole by WP as well as the New York Times, Economist, Fortune, Christian Science Monitor and others, is that J&J acted quickly and responsibly. J&J’s behavior has long been hailed as PR’s No. 1 crisis success story. Wikipedia Shuns “Tylenol Mafia” Had the NYT or other national media reviewed the Bartz book, it would have been picked up by WP which demands publication in “reliable” media before it will reference anything. Bartz, however, has only been able to win notice in Chicago papers including The Chicago Reader and on local affiliates of TV networks including Fox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Tylenol_murders The national networks have turned him down. His calls and e-mails to NYT are ignored. The Bartz book at the very least deserves mention by WP. This writer attempted to post five articles on WP over the holiday and all five were rejected for one reason or another. WP is so hooked on demanding input from “reliable” media before it will touch anything that if it were a firehouse its firefighters would refuse to respond to an alarm if only one person phoned it in. It would wait for a consensus to build among the neighbors. It might even wait for a story in the local paper. Wikimedia PR Entries Heavily Accessed A problem for PR is that WP’s sketchy entries on PR, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_relations the history of PR, PRSA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Relations_Society_of_America and Accreditation in PR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accreditation_in_public_relations are deficient by its own standards. The entry on “PR” is said to “read like an advertisement” and WP says, “Please help to improve it.” The PRSA entry is a microscopic 398 words that talk about its membership total, website, awards program and that it works “in tandem” with the Student Society. In rejecting our articles, including one about the National Press Club’s condemnation of PRSA’s press boycott, WP accused us of “copyright violation” because what we submitted had been published on odwyerpr.com. WP editors do not understand copyright. Writers do not give up copyright because their words are published somewhere. They maintain the right to publish their words anywhere. Council of PR Firms Lacks Entry WP has no entry at all on the Council of PR Firms (www.prfirms.org) whose 101 members include almost all of the conglomerate-owned PR firms as well as major other firms such as Waggener Edstrom and APCO. Total revenues are at least $3 billion. CPRF was founded in 1998 with the intention of taking over the ranking of PR firms that were being done by the O’Dwyer Co., PR Week/U.S., and The Holmes Report. CPRF sent forms to 5,000 PR firms and told its member firms not to provide any figures to the three trade publications. CPRF president Jack Bergen said PR firms “make money in ways that O’Dwyer doesn’t recognize. He should not be the one to define our business and we shouldn’t be beholden to him.” http://www.odwyerpr.com/members/archived_stories_2001/april/0424bergen_odwyer.htm The O’Dwyer Co. objected to a trade organization performing a journalistic role and to CPRF’s ranking rules that allowed paid ads to be counted. CPRF did not ask for top pages of income tax returns or W-3s but relied on statements by CEOs and CFOs. Conglomerate-owned firms, which contributed more than half the dues of CPRF, pulled out of all the rankings in 2001, citing penalties of Sarbanes-Oxley for issuing false financials. The conglomerates said differing accounting rules in dozens of countries made it impossible to enforce uniform reporting of finances. CPRF then stopped ranking any firms. No Mention of (PR) Seminar WP has no mention of (PR) Seminar, the annual gathering of blue chip corporate PR heads and CEOs of major PR firms. Although executives and editors of more than 20 major media have attended Seminar, none has ever mentioned its existence. However, our office has 40 years of the attendance lists and programs of Seminar which is proof enough of its existence. We also have a boxful of articles illegally copied and sold by the PR Society, a practice that went on from the late 1970s to 1994 when our expose halted it, and the $150,000 PRS and Rockefeller Foundation 1999 study that found “PR specialist” ranked 43rd on a list of 45 believable spokespeople. http://www.odwyerpr.com/blog/index.php?/archives/3678-PR-Leader,-Writer,-Maverick,-Budd-Dies-at-88.html We hope some local “Wikipedians” will visit our office to see this and much more documentation. The New York WP group has monthly events and will celebrate “Wikipedia Day” Saturday, Jan. 28 at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Participation is free and includes pizza and cake. Sixty went to last year’s celebration. Committee Needed to Help WP on PR A committee of PR pros and journalists is needed to correct and expand all the WP entries that refer to PR. The many people who are going to those entries are coming away either empty-handed or misled. WP is not living up to its goal of being “encyclopedic.” That word means “full,” “complete,” “exhaustive,” “all-embracing,” “vast,” “thorough” and “wide-ranging.” It should see itself as a firehouse ready to jump on major new facts and research such as The Tylenol Mafia. New evidence can topple cherished notions and beliefs. === Daniel Case === === Becksguy === === David Goodman === === Jeremy Baron === === Matthew Bisanz === Matt was founding treasurer of the Wikimedia New York chapter and is an administrator and bureaucrat on the English Wikipedia and an administrator on Wikimedia Commons (User:MBisanz).

We also have a boxful of articles illegally copied and sold by the PR Society, a practice that went on from the late 1970s to 1994 when our expose halted it, and the $150,000 PRS and Rockefeller Foundation 1999 study that found “PR specialist” ranked 43rd on a list of 45 believable spokespeople. http://www.odwyerpr.com/blog/index.php?/archives/3678-PR-Leader,-Writer,-Maverick,-Budd-Dies-at-88.html We hope some local “Wikipedians” will visit our office to see this and much more documentation. The New York WP group has monthly events and will celebrate “Wikipedia Day” Saturday, Jan. 28 at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Participation is free and includes pizza and cake. Sixty went to last year’s celebration. Committee Needed to Help WP on PR A committee of PR pros and journalists is needed to correct and expand all the WP entries that refer to PR. The many people who are going to those entries are coming away either empty-handed or misled. WP is not living up to its goal of being “encyclopedic.” That word means “full,” “complete,” “exhaustive,” “all-embracing,” “vast,” “thorough” and “wide-ranging.” It should see itself as a firehouse ready to jump on major new facts and research such as The Tylenol Mafia. New evidence can topple cherished notions and beliefs. === Jeremy Baron === === Matthew Bisanz === Matt was founding treasurer of the Wikimedia New York chapter and is an administrator and bureaucrat on the English Wikipedia and an administrator on Wikimedia Commons (User:MBisanz).

Aiming to build community and promote the sharing of ideas, regular meet-ups and annual conferences are intended for those interested in or affiliated with the Wikimedia community or the Free Culture movement. Wikimedia NYC strives to facilitate discussion and promote collaboration within its membership through round-table and general discussions, as well as relevant presentations. Wishing to further public media literacy and encourage wiki contributions, the chapter participates in a number of educational outreach programs in the New York area. Working with local partners such as the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_Alliance_NYC Free Culture Alliance NYC] umbrella group, these events are generally intended for those attending local universities, or patrons of local libraries. Centered on the New York metropolitan area, more broadly home to over 20 million people, a local chapter like Wikimedia NYC can serve as a ''bridge'' between the Wikipedia/Wikimedia community and academic and cultural institutions, through a variety of different programs. Everyone who can attend a meeting is welcome to join! <center> {| width="50%" border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" rules="all" style="margin:1em 1em 1em 0; border:solid 1px #AAAAAA; border-collapse:collapse; background-color:#F9F9F9; font-size:125%; empty-cells:show; width=90%" ! align="left" colspan="2" bgcolor="#C6E2FF" | Keep in touch! |- | Next event | '''Great American Wiknic: [[w:Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC|June 25, 2011]]''' |- | Mailing list | [[mail:wikimedia nyc|Wikimedia NYC area mailing list]] |- | Social media | * [http://identi.ca/wikimedianyc @wikimedianyc] on Identi.ca * [http://twitter.com/wikimedianyc @wikimedianyc] on Twitter |- | Email | [mailto:wm-nyc@wikimedia.org wm-nyc] @ wikimedia.org |} </center> == Projects == === Meetings === ====Wikipedia Meetup NYC Salon==== <center> <gallery> File:3.16.08NYCMeetupByLuigiNovi13.jpg|'Mindspillage' holding up a real-life replica of a Wiki-style barnstar during an NYC meetup.

Aiming to build community and promote the sharing of ideas, regular meet-ups and annual conferences are intended for those interested in or affiliated with the Wikimedia community or the Free Culture movement. Wikimedia NYC strives to facilitate discussion and promote collaboration within its membership through round-table and general discussions, as well as relevant presentations. Wishing to further public media literacy and encourage wiki contributions, the chapter participates in a number of educational outreach programs in the New York area. Working with local partners such as the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_Alliance_NYC Free Culture Alliance NYC] umbrella group, these events are generally intended for those attending local universities, or patrons of local libraries. Centered on the New York metropolitan area, more broadly home to over 20 million people, a local chapter like Wikimedia NYC can serve as a ''bridge'' between the Wikipedia/Wikimedia community and academic and cultural institutions, through a variety of different programs.

Aiming to build community and promote the sharing of ideas, regular meet-ups and annual conferences are intended for those interested in or affiliated with the Wikimedia community or the Free Culture movement. Wikimedia NYC strives to facilitate discussion and promote collaboration within its membership through round-table and general discussions, as well as relevant presentations. Wishing to further public media literacy and encourage wiki contributions, the chapter participates in a number of educational outreach programs in the New York area. Working with local partners such as the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_Alliance_NYC Free Culture Alliance NYC] umbrella group, these events are generally intended for those attending local universities, or patrons of local libraries. Centered on the New York metropolitan area, more broadly home to over 20 million people, a local chapter like Wikimedia NYC can serve as a ''bridge'' between the Wikipedia/Wikimedia community and academic and cultural institutions, through a variety of different programs.

Aiming to build community and promote the sharing of ideas, regular meet-ups and annual conferences are intended for those interested in or affiliated with the Wikimedia community or the Free Culture movement. Wikimedia NYC strives to facilitate discussion and promote collaboration within its membership through round-table and general discussions, as well as relevant presentations. Wishing to further public media literacy and encourage wiki contributions, the chapter participates in a number of educational outreach programs in the New York area. Working with local partners such as the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_Alliance_NYC Free Culture Alliance NYC] umbrella group, these events are generally intended for those attending local universities, or patrons of local libraries. Centered on the New York metropolitan area, more broadly home to over 20 million people, a local chapter like Wikimedia NYC can serve as a ''bridge'' between the Wikipedia/Wikimedia community and academic and cultural institutions, through a variety of different programs.

Wikimedia NYC strives to facilitate discussion and promote collaboration within its membership through round-table and general discussions, as well as relevant presentations.

Working with local partners such as the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_Alliance_NYC Free Culture Alliance NYC] umbrella group, these events are generally intended for those attending local universities, or patrons of local libraries. Centered on the New York metropolitan area, more broadly home to over 20 million people, a local chapter like Wikimedia NYC can serve as a ''bridge'' between the Wikipedia/Wikimedia community and academic and cultural institutions, through a variety of different programs.

Aiming to build community and promote the sharing of ideas, regular meet-ups and annual conferences are intended for those interested in or affiliated with the Wikimedia community or the Free Culture movement. Wikimedia NYC strives to facilitate discussion and promote collaboration within its membership through round-table and general discussions, as well as relevant presentations. Wishing to further public media literacy and encourage wiki contributions, the chapter participates in a number of educational outreach programs in the New York area. Working with local partners such as the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_Alliance_NYC Free Culture Alliance NYC] umbrella group, these events are generally intended for those attending local universities, or patrons of local libraries. Centered on the New York metropolitan area, more broadly home to over 20 million people, a local chapter like Wikimedia NYC can serve as a ''bridge'' between the Wikipedia/Wikimedia community and academic and cultural institutions, through a variety of different programs.

Each daily film showing fundraiser &/or promotion should be different to match the crowd and news of the week. For example: this week the news is focused on the history of the actress Natalie Wood. Wikimedia NYC could charge tickets to show all her films/interviews, etc., over a one month period. Each event should vary in price to match the ability to pay of the crowd. Try to do a daily 'invitation only' to a select group of millionaires who know the founder of Wikipedia. Have their first invitation free so as to not turn them off to attending. He should meet with them one at a time, in case they don't want to be surprised by other guests. He should ask for their ideas on the above events - both what they think would help the events raise money, and the opposite - what not to do at these events. He should try to involve them in security details. Most wealthy/famous people probably want all the entrances/restrooms, etc. guarded by trustworthy guards. Considering hiring retired police/fire department staff. Consider having separate parties showing the same films for the police/fire department staff and their families. Try to lower costs and problems with drunk driving, etc., by limiting alcohol served to the bare minimum - none when any crowd includes people under the age of 21. Try to hold daily events for 'celebrity in and out of rehab' without any alcohol or jokes about drunks, etc. This kind of daily event might have saved the life of the musician Amy Winehouse (and the hundreds of musicians who have died like her). She might be alive today if someone like Jimmy had gotten her involved in (daily) charity fundraising, etc. Their is probably a better chance of getting these people to help Jimmy, if a dollar of each fundraising ticket goes to the celebrity's favorite charity. Otherwise they will probably get bored with fundraising for Wikipedia. Try to let the celebrities 'micro-manage' at least one event - this will probably help make the events more profitable. Tips for the above fundraisers: (If you can't use any of these ideas, pass on this page to similar organizations/individuals. And ask everyone who reads this to ad on their own ideas at the end of the list). 1. First fundraiser event should be free for the wealthy - or else they won't attend. Get each guest involved in every (amap) detail before the day of the event. This will motivate them to attend. 2. No surprises for the wealthy: meet with them alone. Let them plan security staff carefully. 3. Let the wealthy guests plan amap before the film showing. Let them control the details amap - this will motivate them to make the fundraisers a success. 4. Try to make each fundraiser event a 'win-win' for everyone attending. Most wealthy people have a charity they want others to give to. For each film fundraiser - plan ahead to have a percentage of each ticket go to their favorite charity. Say, at least one dollar per ticket goes to their favorite charity. 5. Try to make each film fundraiser a 'win-win' for everyone attending: get ideas from everyone before/after on how to make the events worth attending. Have optional 'meet and greet' time before/after the film showing. Have various speakers before/after the film showing. Try to make some of the events connected with college courses (Introduction to Film History; The History of Hollywood; U.S. History through films, etc., etc.) Consider having a daily film fundraiser focused on a famous person who has 'a birthday on this day.' This might attract thousands of customers who happen to have the same birthday. Idea: If customers can prove they have the same birthday, give them a free cupcake and announce their birthday to the crowd attending. 6. Ask everyone attending to (optional of course) fill out an anonymous questionnaire to be dropped in a big box near the exit door. Hand out souvenir pens they can take home with 'Natalie Wood' (whoever is in the news that week). On the forms give plenty of space to write in: 'how can we improve these events for future guests?' 'would you like to get involved with a film showing fundraiser for Wikipedia in the future?' Give each of the wealthy people a business card with an 800 phone number - to call 24/7 with their ideas on creating fund raiser events. Most actors etc., want to create publicity for their new films - do this by involving them in a fundraiser which helps promote their new films. Famous actors/musicians will probably not get involved unless they can control (every) detail. Try to let them do this amap. 7. Consider creating free events for the kids of the famous actors/musicians. Many of these parents won't attend because they can't get a nanny/baby-sitter in time for the event. Many of the rich/famous neglect their kids/teens - consider creating a series of free academic/fun tutorials for kids/teens of the famous actors/musicians. As they age into their 30's they will probably come back with their own kids to help in fundraisers, etc. 8. Trends change about every three months. Ask all your guests for new ideas for fundraisers on a daily basis. Even the poor guests might have fundraiser ideas that are helpful in bringing in crowds of paying customers. Try to copy aspects of events which attract big crowds: fashion shows by new (clothes/shoes/hair designers; 'battle of the bands' for teens, etc.; free/low cost classes by (famous) dance/voice teachers; teach basic voice music reading/writing (orchestra notes) to separate age groups. Use very easy songs to learn sheet music reading. 421 2011-12-13T19:29:44Z 207.245.176.2 clean up == Film screenings == Wikimedia NYC (&/or similar Wikipedia fundraiser activities) might include a daily film showing.

What your doing fits right in to their philosophical views Why don't you guys display actual graphs showing how much money has been collected and needed etc. This will make people feel more comfortable with donating money to Wiki. I think many people would like to donate but at the same time they want to see that there money won't go to waste or at least feel that way, which a simple graph can help with. With the graph and people able to see growing numbers or the 'reality' of how feasabe the task is, they might be more likely to participate.

I am guessing you do to but picking out which agent to work with just isn't a matter of plodding down to the large street and strolling in to the 1st a single you see. I am confident it is the similar nationally but I am only associated with my local Estate Agents and their perform would be to current market your home to the customers they've got on their database. The usage of a well designed promotion language is extensive known to generate an emotion and wish in you any time you go through their description I realize of the man who wanted to promote his house and also desired to remain during the very same space. He saw an advertisement for just a residence that explained nearly specifically what he was trying to find.....turned out to become your house he was promoting. Picking out a great high quality estate agent that should just take care and handle the entire method on the behalf can be a bonus. He/she might make repair it that you should get an HIP (Property Facts Pack) and an EPC (Electrical power Performance Certificate) which grew to become a prerequisite in 2007 for properties with 4 or maybe more bedrooms. The charge they will quote you is not the sole thought in choosing an estate agent. Actually, anytime I acquired homes (in my scenario using Estate Agents) I might constantly provide them a higher pace than they quoted me for obvious factors. There's little or no regulation for residential [http://www.jamesproperty.co.uk/ Malvern estate agent] during the Uk. Not surprisingly you will discover prepared regulations to guard you but any one has the ability to put in place as an agent and it isn't essential to belong to any on the usual organisations that you just would take a look at as some type of safety. The way Estate Agents trade has altered drastically from the previous ten years. The web has permitted estate agents to supply an alternate and frequently lessened cost when compared into the way they usually structured their expenses while in the earlier. They justify it by declaring that it enable them function with decreased expenditures and so they can now give fixed cost promotions. Nationwide house portals have evolved that a lot of agents align to, to sector your house through the Uk and it fees them a complete great deal considerably less compared to the aged regular way. In regard to permitting agents, costs fluctuate according for the amount of assistance you need. Do you want then to handle your actuel or just organize the tenancy. Managing them available for you can hep prevent the necessity to get calls at all hours on the day or evening when the drinking water tank bursts or even the boiler breaks down but there's a value to you acquiring the ability to hide at the rear of them. I put a property up to allow by having an estate agent who billed me a month-to-month cost to manage the tenants however it worked out way too costly so I took to the work myself. My look at was that when the dwelling was sound plus the fixtures had been in good order, which they had been, there was very little for me to worry about. A further detrimental thing was the estate agent's allowing office used upkeep those that they'd a connection with and I would have ended up with extra costs than I bargained for. Obviously if you are living abroad, then you had minor choice. The other advantage of utilizing a very good estate agent is that they can assistance with their expertise in the lieu market conditions and based upon that know-how can advise on a sensible offering selling price. Additionally they offer you economical suggestions, conveyancing and frequently in my knowledge will maintain you posted throughout the practice and also getting the very best offer for you personally.
